For doing things In a hurry and "getting away with thorn" please give the prize to Calvin Heilig and M. C. Dickinson. Many stories have been written about men who act quickly and act de cisively and many times the critical periods In the lives or such men have been dramatized, but neither fiction's brightest page nor the drama's most brilliant plot has revealed such daring and deliberate enterprise as that con ceived and boldly carried out by the Portland theatrical man and hotel magnate who, between the hours of 12:30 and 9:30 Friday morning origi nated the idea of building a street railway on Seventh street, secured the necessary financial backing, prepared the required legal documents and pre sented their plan to the City Council. Embarking into the street railway business was farthest from Mr. Hellig's mind, when, in company with William T. Pangle, he entered the Oregon Grille after the theater Thursday night. At the tabLe where they had lunch the theatrical pair soon were joined by M. C. Dickinson, one of the proprietors of the hotel. They talked about plays and baseball and poll tics and various other subjects of Im mediate interest, when suddenly Mr. Dickinson, without much apparent con cern, asked: "Say, CaU what do you think of this .Seventh-street franchise business any way T" "It's Just like this, 'Dick.". answered Mr. Heilig, "George Heusner seems mighty anxious to get that franchise. It looks to me that he expects to make a good thing out of it," he added. ' Heusner Franchise Arouses. Then there was a pause, during which neither man said anything. After a lit tle more pause the hotel man finally blurted out: "Now, look here, CaV accompanied by a violent thump on the table with his fist. "If It's worth while for Heusner to get this franchise for nothing, why Isn't It worth something to Seventh street business men?" "It might be, but how are we to get In on it? I'm not In the street railway business. Are your' "No. But supposln' we get Into It?" "I'm with you, Dick. Tou can count me In on anything that will keep an interurban line off Seventh street. It would spoil business on the whole street from the river to the Heights." - Then there was a few minutes of hur ried consultation, at the end of which it was found that the Council would meet at :30 the following morning. To get any action at all it was necessary to act in a hurry. It waa 12:80 Friday morning then. The first thing the hotel man did was to ring up George N. Davis, a lawyer, ask him to' come down to the Oregon grill right away. Mr. Davis said he'd come. Half an hour later he was there. Then he called "Goldie" on the tele phone. "Goldie,' who is otherwise known as Monroe Goldstein, Mr. Dickin son's right hand man. "Do you know where Walter McKee lives, or what his telephone number is?" asked Mr. Dickinson in a violent tone. "Naw, I don't" replied "Goldie," quite angrily, and went back to bed. Ten minutes later the phone bell again called "Goldie" out of bed. Magnates Act Quickly. "Come down here; I want you," the voice of Mr. Dickinson commanded. Not knowing whether a murder had been committed or whether the house had been burglarized, "Goldie" came, half dressed and Bleepy. "Where can we get a stenographer real quick?" the hotel roan asked. Upon Goldstein's suggestion they called Miss Moore, the house stenog rapher. She lives at the Wheeldon. "How long will it take you to get ready to come down here and take some dictation?" Mr. Dickinson asked. "Five minutes." "All right, in five minutes I'll send a cab up there for you." He pulled out his stop watch. "Now, then, we've got to have a bond," suggested Mr. Heilig. "Well, then, we'll call Karl Lively and have him prepare one for us," an swered Mr. Dickinson. "How long will it take you to get dressed?" was the greeting Mr. Lively received on answering the telephone. "Ten minutes." "In ten minutes. I'll have a cab in front of your house. Come down here right away. Goodby.'- Now, Phil Metschan, of the Imperial Hotel, and Mr. Dickinson, although competitors in business, are close friends. "We'll have to let Phil in on this," suggested Mr. Dickinson. So he called him on the phone. "3n to bed. I'm not crazy," Mr. Met schan shot back. He thought he was being made the victim of a joke. So he hung up. Then they called "Charley" Wright Mr Dickinson's partner In the hotel business. Mr. Wright too, thought th, were joking. ' By this time Attorney Davis. Mr. Lively and Miss Moore all had put in their appearance. Promoters Mean Business. It was 2:45 in the morning. Time was growing short So they all went over to Mr. Davis' office in the Spald- inr hulldlnar Mr. Dickinson. Mr. nei lig, Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Lively, Mr. Davis and the stenographer. Mr. Pangle had gone to bed In the meantime. There In the lawyer's office, where there are an abundance ot law dookb, mey women FMrit it was necessary to get a copy of the Heusner franchise and in the quest for one they routed George Baker out of oed ana provo&ea mm iu In the next few hours they drew up an application lor a irancmse, tele graphed to New York for a bond, re ceived an answer to the telegram and were ready for business, even though sleepless when the City Council met. The promoters Messrs. Helllg and nirklnaon declare that- they are ready to build the proposed line from the east approach of the Broadway bridge to the bead of Seventh street and oper ate it.

Various phases ot tne ponce work as It Is found Dy women ponce In the various cities were discussed. nt. taken on the question of whether drunkenness and cigarette smoking Is increasing among wumon showed a division of opinion aa to drunkenness but stood unanimous in the affirmative on tne question of cig arette smoking. Miss Anne M. MoCor mlck of Sacramento, declared that both 'intoxication and cigarette smok ing are on the Increase. "My observa tion in Sacramento- has been that clg- arette smoking In particular has had an astonishing growth among women. Two years ago It was not knownj now It is general. And other things are on a par. It seems that this Is an age of temptation. Miss Caroline Barium, of Portland, spoke on experiences she has had at the Union Depot during several years of work in protecting girls traveling alone. She declared among other things that the practice of sending children alone on trains to strange cities is growing and is constantly requiring much work for women en gaged in caring for such cases. Last year the Y. W. C. a. department workers at the depots handled 850 cases of this nature. ' Resolutions Are Adopted.' Yesterday morning the speakers were Professor JF. G. Young, of the department of sociology and econom ics at the University of Oregon and Dr. Mary Martin, of Seattle.- Follow ing their addresses' the . convention adopted the following resolutions: The trreat need of protective work for women and girls is everywhere rec ognized. It can be carried on only by an efficient corps of women officers with uniform methods and by co-operation of the various cities and towns. The permanency of such & department and the qualifications of such officers are of extreme importance to make the work a success. We therefore make the following recommendations: "That every city and town shall en deavor to incorporate this as part of Its city charter, in order to give this part of the work permanence and se curity. ' "That no woman be appointed who has not had some practical experience In protective work. "That every woman must be a total abstainer from alcoholic liquor. "That every woman must be a Chris tian or at least have a previous record of being especially interested in pro tective work. "That every woman shall have the indorsement of at least one Federated woman's organization, Y. W. C. A. or any organization of women Interested in clvlo beterment "To advance the work or reform, an women offenders, especially first of fenders, should have private hearings and every city should have a woman bailiff and parole officer whose duty it would be to look after women prison ers, especially during their trial and after their release, and whose further duty should be to endeavor to help them to a better life by finding honor able employment for them or. bringing them under Christian influences. "Every community should look for ward to the establishment of an Indus trial home for delinauent girls and women where proper medical attention can be given; thus carrying out ideas of reform rathf.r than punishment "We thank the press for its general and kindly consideration."

Aa the Democratic nominee for United States Senator in Oregon, on behalf of the National Democratic) Oommitee I desire to extend to you my beBt wishes in your oontest. I consider your election one of the most essential achievements. in the pending campaign. Gov. Wilson's eleotioa to the Presidency by an over whelming majority, is oertain. There is no doubt that we will oontrol the House of Representatives by a great majority. It is desirable, therefore, that every supporter of Wilson and Marshall should turn attention to the election of a Democratic Senate,! and use every honorable means to promote suooesa of Demo cratic candidates for the Senate. The oontrol of both houses of Congress will insure the execution of policies for which Gov. Wilson and the. Democratic party stand. I trust that every supporter of Gov. Wilson in Oregon will therefore earnestly and enthusiastically support your oandldaoy. Please convey this message to the Demodrats of your state and to all supporters of Gov. Wilson. v ' William 7.

He said that the swollen condition of the mouth. tongue ana eyes oi tne emmpanzee, which the prosecution held to have existed after his death, could not have been caused by tuberoulosla or pneu monia. On the other hand, when Attorney Isham Smith asked him If a monkey in the last stages of pneumonia could perform Its tricks on the stage he maintained that he believed it could. Mr. Smith asked this question after having elicited the statement that a human being suffering from acute pneumonia would probably be delirious or unable to be about for some time before his death. .The session yesterday was very quiet The stereosoopio examination of the previous day was not reverted to, the cross-examination having been carried on Friday afternoon at the same time with the dlreot questioning.

Jackson County Records Broken., MEDFORP. Or., Oct 26. (Special.) All r.oorda for registration have been broken In Jaokson County, the present roll Including 6200 names. The largest previous registration was in 1911 when 6200 was the total. County Clerk Coleman believes there have been many duplications, however, and places the number at 700, whioh would make the net total BB00, or a gain of S00 reg istered voters In one year. One reason women want tohave good figures Is because the other women haven't got them. ; " Munly Is the Man M. G. Munly Should Be Elected to the Office of Representative in Congress A Few Facts for Conscientious Voters He Is the Strongest Candidate Against A. W.Lafferty There is an evr increasing protest among a large class of the voters of this distriot against returning A. W. Lafferty to Congress. If these voters cast their votes for Judge Munly, Laf ferty will certainly be defeated. A vote, however, for any other oandidate Is one half a vote for Lafferty. Do not allow any one to persuade you that there Is any oandidate in the field against Laf ferty who Is so strong as Mr. Munly. Such persuasions are urged In the in terest of Lafferty. (Paid Adv.) Judge M. O. Munly has been a resi dent ot this county for the past 80 years, and Is honest, loyal, of excep tional ability and of high moral char acter. ' HE. DOES THINGS. While others talk and dream. Judge Munly acts. He has the brains to- plan and the execu tive ability to put his plans into effect He was foremost in the struggle for the construction and maintenance of the Jefferson High School. The Jeffer son High School was erected and Is be ing conducted today. Against a power ful opposition he fought for the con struction of the Broadway bridge. The Broadway bridge is now nearlng com pletion. ' He does things. He Will Obtain for This District More Benefits in Congress Than Any Other Candidate An' interstate bridge Is soon to be built across the Columbia River from Multnomah County, Oregon, to Clark County, Washington, and the expense of this undertaking will have to be borne by the taxpayers of those two counties. Any appropriations in aid of this bridge procured from Congress will relieve the taxpayers, to that extent The next house In Congress, like the last one, will be Democratic. The tax payers of the district will obtain bet ter results In the matter of appropria tions through the efforts of Judge Munly, who will be a representative in harmony with the politics of the House. only : Is the Man Munly for Congress Club Lafferty to Answer Traducers Congressman A. W. Lafferty, regular nominee of both the Re publican and Progressive parties for re-election, will epeak to the people of the district every night this week. Those desiring to see the skin removed from a few newspapers will not be disappointed. With cold logic, admitted facts and dispassionate argument, Con gressman Lafferty will meet the unsupported denunciation and abuse of the hirelings of speoial privilege. The election of a Con gressman in the Third District one week from Tuesday is the most important political evnt that will happen in Oregon this year. The result will tell whether the common people or the special interests will rule under popular election laws. Every citizen is vitally in terested in laws and measures that Congressman Lafferty has the distinction of being the first citken and the first Congressman to inaugurate or introduce. These measures mean a real oontrol of monopolies and a real enforcement of laws already on the books in favor of the people. With Lafferty s defeat it is safe to say that future' Congressmen from this district would not be encouraged to take np the same fights. Come out and hear Congressman Lafferty at any or all of the meetings here advertised, and form your opinion of the man first hand. Remember the dates, for Mr. Lafferty will not have the money to print this advertisement again. Mr. Laf ferty will speak at the Bungalow Theater, Twelfth and Morrison streets, next Thursday night, October 31, at 8J.5 o'olock, which date please remember and attend, especially if you live on the West Bide, and he will speak on the East Side at the following times and places: Monday night, October 28, Sellwood, Union Hall, 8 P.M.
